A time, a place, a person - a memorial to Denmark’s fallen since 1948 at Kastellet in Copenhagen. When you visit, I t’s striking how many of the dead died in Afghanistan.

Who needs a sled when you can have your dad slide down the slope on his bum? Fun in the snow near Kastellet, in Copenhagen.

The coldest January in 16 years in Copenhagen. A few pics from wandering around near the citadel on a sunny day a couple of weeks ago.

No thanks, we’re happy here without him.

I’m 45, and here I was thinking that I’d turned a page by starting to listening to new and young bands again…

Thanks 🙂

Broadly true. I hope society continues to evolve in that direction.

When I was in high school in ‘90’s Australia the ‘rule’ was divide by two plus seven. So an 18yo could date a 16yo, 30yo with no younger than 22, 40 with 27… still holds up pretty well. Epstein would’ve been seen the creep he was.

Sorry, that’s not what Pinker wrote. As nerdskull so eloquently put it, read the damn text. It’s like being in a tutorial class where nobody did the readings in here ffs. Not trying to defend racists, just not a fan of ppl making shit up.

Two separate statements in two separate paragraphs, one about ideas he’s taught, another on research done by colleagues at Harvard. Nowhere does he make any argument that black people are ‘genetically less intelligent than white’ as you claimed. That’s why I asked for a quote.

Give us a quote. I think you’re extrapolating beyond the text, but I’d be happy to be proven wrong.
